Otto Engine Types
There are three types of internal combustion engines designed by German inventors Nikolaus Otto and his partner Eugen Langen. They are the 1862 compression engine, which failed, the 1864 atmospheric engine, and the engine known today as the "Gasoline Engine", the Otto Cycle engine created in 1876. Otto engines were used primarily for stationary uses, as Otto had no interest in transportation. Other makers such as Daimler perfected the Otto Engine for transportation use
